FEMA Funds Tornado-Proof Safe Room | Madison News
About this episode
FEMA is funding a tornado-proof safe room in Wisconsin that will also serve as a community fitness center.
FEMA’s pouring over $2.6 million into Potosi School District in Wisconsin to build a tornado-proof safe room that can shelter up to 584 people — including neighbors — and withstand winds up to 250 mph. With 16 tornadoes hitting Grant County in the last 20 years, the old setup just won’t cut it. But here’s the twist: when the skies are clear, it’ll double as a community fitness center, keeping students and locals active year-round. FEMA’s covering 90% of the cost, with Wisconsin and the district picking up the rest — a smart, dual-purpose investment that turns safety into community wellness.
